A scrappy post - just saying;-)

It has been a month since my last post and I did say that I would continue to post my scrapbooking creations here. I have given myself until the end of next week to decide on the future of the blog. By then I will know whether I will just keep it to showcase my work. I am in two minds at this stage. I have a private blog and have been thinking of moving all my musings and family stories there....but then I am still in two minds. Anyhow...here is a mini album I finished last week. It was bought from The Scrappy Gourmet in kit form. The designer of the kit is Linda Albrecht. This isn't my usual style...but gosh...I loved making it:-)

The front page is so bulky and full of texture and dimension that I love everything about it. The range used for the album is My Minds Eye Miss Caroline. The album measures 9 inch by 7 inch.

The album is aptly named "faces that make me smile" and I decided to fill it with photos of my DH, my darling children and my precious grandchildren. They are truly my treasures and the faces that make me smile. This photo was taken during a photo shoot in 2011 and before Stefan and Juan was born. Here is DH and I with our then four grandchildren.

There was a lot of painting, machine stitching and hand sewing done on this little album.

The photo of Leane (nearly 5 years old and my only grand daughter) and the pony (Benji) was taken on Wynand and Nadia's small holding.

Also taken at the photo shoot. Wynand (my second born), Nadia and their two boys Christian and Lukas.

These three go to the same day care and the photo was taken at their end of year school concert.

Lukas (aged 4) is such a happy little guy and he adores his Oupa.

This beautiful child is Dewan (aged 3).

When I look through this little album I am reminded how much family means and how blessed I am to have my children and grandchildren living within 3 kilometers from our home. I cherish each moment spent with them.

wow ! so much going on in your wonderful family's life , Lynette ! especially the new grand baby additions ! woohoo !

I dare say you still create far me than i do ! lol I too have lost steam with scrapping especially - too few meaningful pics to scrap with - I'll definitely always keep making cards !

otherwise these are the best & worst of time - on the best end of things - real life keeps me busy good and off the crafty table - on the worst end I have stupid people on my hands who just tried overdosing themselves with drugs that cant kill 'em !

About Me

This is my little place in cyber space. The place where I can voice my opinions and bare my soul...a place where I document the things that happen in my life that I don't ever want to forget. The place where I share my love for my darling husband, children and grandchildren. The place where I am free to share my love for my Lord and Saviour. The place where I showcase my scrapbook projects. The place that will document my life and those whom I love in the thousands of pictures that I take.
